Exceptional concluding stanza, and a great write that aside.

I love this. Although it was beautiful polaroid of this fleeting moment with your grandson, I must say it was a powerful reminder that we can all be reduced to simple cells, banking on memories. I don't have to tell you, but great write.

I am newly amazed every time I remember that the very act of looking at it changes it altogether. Unobserved, who knows what changes might come, and where would the memory be in that? Interesting write, Charles!!!

I always appreciate references to math and physics...

For me, the lesson behind this poem is grand and spacious, and it, too, morphs and moves while attempting to be herded in its entirety. Memories do indeed feel like you have described in your last stanza. A sly and enjoyable affirmation of living in the moment. <bow>

Cell development indeed!! Yes, that and so much more. The perfect example of life itself in continuation. An extension of your life form into the future. Also Heisenberg would be proud, but that is a different topic. Beautiful, beautiful poem. I just love it. I may need a little help with that last paragraph. Where is the Garthmeister when I need him.
